The use of amniotic membrane as a biological dressing for thermal injury is simple and cheap and has been found to be superior to allograft and xenograft. The membrane prevents heat and water loss from the wound surface and acts as a barrier against bacterial contamination, thus aiding the healing process and reducing morbidity. Another clinically significant and important property of the membrane is its ability to offer marked relief from pain. Over a period of 30 months amniotic membrane was used to treat 15 cases of burn in a small hospital, with uniformly satisfactory results. The practical aspects of this method of treatment can easily be adopted by any hospital regardless of its available facilities.
使用羊膜作为热烧伤的生物敷料简单且成本低廉,并且已发现其优于同种异体移植和异种移植。羊膜可防止伤口表面的热量和水分流失,并作为抵御细菌污染的屏障,从而有助于愈合过程并降低发病率。羊膜的另一个具有临床意义且重要的特性是其能够显著减轻疼痛。在30个月的时间里,一家小医院使用羊膜治疗了15例烧伤患者,结果均令人满意。无论医院现有设施如何,任何医院都可轻易采用这种治疗方法的实际操作。
